 Gifts of Marketable Securities

We gladly accept gifts of marketable securities as a way of fulfilling your pledge and are grateful for your support.  To make a gift of marketable securities, please note:

1. You endorse or sign over ownership of securities to Mount Royal University through your broker (see sample letters below with instructions for your financial advisor/broker for transfers). Please copy the Mount Royal University Foundation and Mount Royal University Financial Services on share transfer instructions.

2. Your financial advisor/broker will advise our portfolio manager of the details of the gift of shares (see instructions for your broker’s use below). The Foundation will work with Mount Royal Financial Services to receive the shares into the University’s investment portfolio.

3. RBC Dominion Securities, RBC Dexia or CIBC Wood Gundy will advise us when the transfer is complete. The fair market value of the shares will be verified. This is the share price at the end of trading on the date of transfer, multiplied by the number of shares.

4. Once appropriate supporting documentation as confirmation that the gift has been received, the Foundation will issue a tax receipt for the fair market value of the gift.
